The head of the Hamas political bureau, Ismail Haniyeh, today (Sunday) threatened to escalate if the flag parade in Jerusalem took place, saying that "there are calls for settlers to break into the Al-Aqsa Mosque and organize a parade of flags. I say clearly and warn the enemy of committing such crimes. "In the West Bank, they will not agree or accept the passage of this Jewish nonsense in the al-Aqsa Mosque."

He said this at a Hamas event to mark the year of the wall guard.

Haniyeh added that "our decision is clear and there will be no turning back from it. We will fight against all possibilities and we will not allow the desecration of the Al-Aqsa Mosque, or the arrogance against our people on the streets of Jerusalem, the West Bank and within Israel."

The general secretary of the Islamic Jihad organization, Ziad Nahala, reinforced Haniyeh's remarks and said that "we must be on alert, fulfill our mission and declare to the whole world that we have nothing but Jerusalem."

"Our commitment to Jerusalem is the only thing that matters. Those who think that the resistance of the Palestinian people can be stopped when al-Aqsa is given to the Jews, do not understand this resistance," Nahala added.

"Jerusalem is Palestine, it is Islam in the full sense of the word. What is happening in Jerusalem is the deliberate humiliation of Muslims and Palestinians and the overriding of their rights."
